How do I turn the media off on my lock screen. It should be an option not something I have to deal with. It's ridiculous that I have to put up with this on my lock screen. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it is greatly appreciated.

You mist have a carrier branded phone. If that solution worked for you, then that content was put there by your carrier.

Or you can go to the Metro Play app, click on the 3 lines in the upper right-hand corner (settings), then go down to "Disable Lockscreen" on the menu, check one of the answers, then click "Disable" and they're gone.
Yesterday, I was FORCED to accept this New homescreen with ALL this junk of topics covering my beautiful picture. I am forced to see the nonsense instead of my picture. Last time I checked, I purchased this phone NOT Metro PCS. We should NOT BE FORCED to have Meteo News (or whatever) on our phone.
I saw this posted yesterday Go to the Metro Play app, click on the 3 lines in top right corner and then click Disable Lockscreen. Choose whatever option you want and hit Disable.
Hopefully this helps.

It's what you get for having a carrier branded phone. It's in your service agreement that they can add content, and I guess they did. It's the price you pay for the significant discount you get for buying from the carrier. These things do not come from Samsung. As @GaryB82 said, you can turn it off. I would also suggest you send your feedback about it to Metro/T-Mo.

Anyone have a solution for the same issue on my Galaxy Note 8 that I own? It has the Tmo splash screen since they took over Sprint. The phone has been paid off for years and is on my Tmo account. Any help is appreciated.
